Rangers (60-58) at Orioles (56-59)

Texas Rangers at Baltimore Orioles, Aug 10, 2008 1:35 PM EDT


Capt

2027061_medium

Matt Harrison (LHP)

W-L 3-2     ERA 6.46
K 7              Walks 17
WHIP 1.73

Chris (H2O) Waters (LHP)

W-L 1-0     ERA 0.00
K 3             Walks 3
WHIP 0.50



I'm on my way to my in-laws before we fly to Disney tomorrow, so make sure you bug SC to get GameDay threads up while I'm gone. The new, Kevin Millar-approved nickname for Chris Waters is apparently H2O, so I guess we'll go with that for now. Hopefully, he looks great again today, and the way Texas has looked at the plate the last two nights and with a day game, conditions should favor Waters. Go get 'em, O's! SWEEP! SWEEP! SWEEP!

Now, I gotta go see about a mouse in Florida with the wife and kids. See y'all in 7 days.

i agree..

that first play is i’m prefectly fine with Castro at short. even if he doesn’t hit (i know he’s hurt)
went from popup should be an out, to a ‘single’, then ‘h2o’ lost focus, threw 5 straight balls including a wild pitch, then came back and piped a belt-high fastball to Josh Hamilton..heh. and its snowballed from there..

Say all you want about the pitching the majors but the record is wat matters. Volquez is the only prospect lost and if you haven’t noticed he has sucked the last 2 months and his in the NATIONAL LEAGUE.

tattoed ex-druggie trumps 27 year old rookie

Maybe the scales would have been tipped in our favor if Luke had been playing.

that sucked.

All of this is still Cintron’s fault.

joe angel...

was riding cintron pretty hard. yes, he failed to make some plays, but the pitching has to be better. i mean, i know it’s actually been pretty solid of late, but to lose a game in which your offens eputs up 7 runs is pretty bad.

on the plus side

MFY losing
PHN losing
Blue Jays lost
Rays winning.

Yay.

Plus

White Sox won (obviously, beat Red Sox)
Twins tied w/ Royals in the 11th.

I’m rooting for both of these teams so one of them will be the wild card.

Wild Card out of AL Central

And Rays taking the East would be so freaking awesome.
